NOTES, — Recruited in the Third Congressional District. It left Jackson, September i, 1862, and after a short stay at Alexandria, Va., joined McClellan's Army at Sharpsburg, Md., a few days after the battle of Antietam. It was placed in the Ninth Corps, with which it marched to Fredericksburg, where it was under fire, with a slitjht loss in wounded men. It was then in the First Brigade (Poe's), First Division (Burns's). The regiment accom panied the Ninth Corps to Kentucky, and on May loth, 1863, had a brisk fight at Horse Shoe Bend, Ky., on the Cumberland River, where it was attacked by General John Morgan, who was then making his famous raid. The regiment lost 5 killed, 19 wounded, and 5 missing. Its gallant defence, after being summoned to surrender by a vastly superior force, made this fight a notable one among the minor actions of the war. After participating in the Vicksburg campaign, and then in the fighting in East Tennessee, during which Lieutenant-Colonel W. H. Smith, its commanding officer, was killed in the affair at Campbell's Station, it returned to Virginia where it took a prominent part in all the battles of the Ninth Corps in 1864-5. It entered the Wilderness campaign in the Second Brigade, Third Division (Willcox's, afterwards the Firsi Division), and at Spotsylvania, May i2th, was en gaged in the hardest fighting of its whole experience. It lost that day, 17 killed, 108 wounded, and 19 missing; total, 144. On June 18, 1864, it participated in the assault of the Ninth Corps at Petersburg, losing half its men, Major George C. Barnes falling mortally wounded. After this battle the regiment numbered only 106 muskets. _11133
